Posse News\/Robert O’Toole<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dalmatian Pelican Workshop, Northern Greece, Feb 6-11, 2012. Six full days. $2799. Three photographers\/boat, leader: Robert O\u2019Toole (You need to be at the hotel on the late afternoon or early evening of Feb 5, 2012).<\/h2>\n

Robert’s first trip to Greece with me to photograph the amazing pelicans was one of his best trips ever. The biggest problem was trying to keep from filling our cards. I came close to filling a 32GB CF card for the first time ever. This workshop will offer morning and late afternoon in-the-field instructional photography sessions from shore and on the water from boats. Afternoons will be spent on image optimization, workflow and friendly helpful critique sessions as a group and one on one.<\/p>\n

As Robert is in Australia it is best to reach him via e-mail<\/a><\/center>. <\/p>\n
